Count Your Chickens

Count Your Chickens

This is unlikely to work if you live in an apartment. Or a dense urban setting. But if you have a little bit of space to spread out– keeping chickens isn't really that difficult. If they can free range a bit, they will assist with eating garden pests, their droppings will fertilize the soil, and, marvelously, they lay eggs. Did you know that a backyard egg can be kept at room temperature for a good long time without going bad? Store bought eggs, which are denuded of their natural protective bloom need to be refrigerated. Eggs from your home flock, not so.
